Heritage News: The Tivoli Theatre

On December 28, 1928 the first talking motion picture a horror film called The Terror was shown in Toronto at the Tivoli Theatre on Richmond Street (now the site of the Cambridge Suites Hotel). 

It was ‘talking pictures’ that killed Vaudeville however those Vaudevillians who could speak well enough to be recorded went on to have long careers in talking pictures like WC Fields, Milton Berle, Red Skelton and Canadian great Marie Dressler.

While ‘The Jazz Singer’, starring Al Jolson, is recognized as the first big studio backed talking motion picture when it was released in October 1927 however we here in Toronto didn’t get the Jazz Singer until January 1929 a few weeks after ‘The Terror’ had opened.

Another interesting footnote of early movie lore is that the female co-star both in The Terror and The Jazz Singer was actress May McAvoy whose final film appearance was in a small part of the 1959 version of Ben-Hur.
